Hungary shuts nuclear plant due to heat
The Hungarian government has announced the closure of the country's only nuclear power plant, following droughts and rising temperatures that have caused the Danube River's water levels to reach record lows. This has led to the plant's shutdown for the first time in 44 years. The plant relies on river water to cool its reactors, and the reduced water levels have significantly decreased its electricity generation capacity, which will now drop to only 240 megawatts. This closure comes amid ongoing high temperatures expected to exceed 42°C, highlighting the ongoing climate challenges impacting the country's energy sector.
